It would be extremely rare for any native American to kill a bald eagle, since their feathers were not considered worth all the trouble to obtain.
Golden eagles, on the other hand, were prized for their feathers which were used in headdresses, on shields and for fletching arrows by many tribes in North America. As for who could kill one, that depends on the tribe and the rituals connected with collecting the feathers - often the bird was simply captured for long enough to take a few tail feathers and then released.

In many Indigenous tribes in North America, the eagle was considered a sacred animal and its feathers were highly revered. Only certain individuals, usually tribal leaders or members with a specific spiritual role, were allowed to kill or harvest a bald eagle for ceremonial or cultural purposes. These individuals were granted special permissions and adhered to strict rituals and guidelines while handling and using eagle feathers or parts.

How did the American Indians address their problems?
There was no government in order a long time ago. So if one Native American saw a person from another tribe kill one of their tribe members, they would have to follow "tradition" and kill someone from that person's tribe. But one Native American saw a man kill his family. He was expected to kill someone from his tribe, but he just wanted peace. So he wandered off on his journey of peace. Then he meets this other peacemaking dude, and they pair together and form a team. So a government was formed. They had a chief. The chief would help the tribe if they had any problems. There was usually two chiefs. One for peace, and one for war. Every few years, all the chiefs would have a discussion together and say what was going on in their tribe. So it was kind of like a truce.

Were Knights allowed to kill peasants?
Knights were not simply allowed to kill peasants. I know of no secular laws that allowed this, and Church law certainly would not, unless the peasants were guilty of some crime. A country that gave knights free reign to do such a thing would have been at odds with the Church very quickly. It was allowed in ancient Rome, but even in ancient Rome, the laws had changed.

What were wars like in the Cherokee tribe?
This question involves some religious/cultural practices that may confuse you more than answer the question. Cherokee's were controlled by a single law, this law only allowed you to kill people under certain circumstances. War was part of this single law. When this law was broken the Cherokee were allowed to kill but then had to cleanse themselves from it, by a very specific ritual and then stand trial by the tribe for the action. Only then were they allowed to return to society.
